Colourful bazaars (old post)

August 7th, 2008 | Posted by Davey in 02-India

It’s been a few days since we provided an upload – it’s not for the lack of internet cafes, it’s finding one you trust and many have stopped tourists connecting via Wi-Fi  because an American was arrested recently on suspicion of sending terrorists emails.

We’ve immersed ourselves within the markets or bazaars of Old and New Delhi, taking our time to explore every nook and cranny.  It’s striking to see the arrangements and abundance of colours.  Alongside these beautiful stalls you see horrendous poverty and we’ve chosen not to show these for fear we’d put you off your breakfast.  It’s difficult to describe third world poverty until you witness it first hand.

On a more upbeat note, it’s so funny listening to an Indian pronounce ‘S’, everything is ‘Sh’, “please come shit in my car, please shit, shit” – it’s been crack’n us up!

Tomorrow we plan of visiting the sites of Delhi with a car and driver (should have clarified this earlier) so hopefully we will have some great shots.
